A whole day after the resolution of the incident, I haven’t exchanged words with Bernadette.
No, it’s not like, I wanted to talk with her to the point of overdoing it, you know?
But, it’s kind of like……there’s a bad aftertaste.
That was the reason, but I did hide the fact that I was the Hero, and deceived her after all……But I’m not at fault.
Ahー, seriously, what should I do? This has really become something troublesome……
As I was thinking such things, I arrived at the inn.
Uumu, what should I do. She’ll probably also go after the matter about how I secretly carried her underwear, no mistaking it.
No, in regards to the underwear, if I tell Bernadette that it was to sniff them out……That’s no good. I collected them before the incident.
「What should I do……Oh?」
When I opened the door to the private room of the inn I was staying at while thinking of an excuse, there was a woman sitting on the bed looking downward.
She had black hair that was relatively rare for this other world and a black habit.
It was Bernadette.
「Ahー……Um……」
I was at a loss for words.
It, it couldn’t be helped. It turned into an extremely dark atmosphere after all.
I was thinking “Did I unintentionally get the wrong room?” but since I saw the scattered clothes that I took off and meant to wash on top of the bed, this was unmistakably the room that I was staying in.
Which would mean, this really is a talk about the 『Hero』. ……Uumu, this is an atmosphere that says that I can’t just postpone it……
Indifferent to me was about to blow a fuse from this situation, Bernadette slowly……stood up.
「B, Bernadette-san?」
I put myself on guard thinking that she might thrust her gun point or something at me, but without any signs of her doing so, she came closer while slowly swaying her body.
「……Bernadette?」
When I got closer thinking that she was acting really weird, *gurah* (collapse)……Bernadette dropped her posture and collapsed.
「Bernadette!? Your body is hot……is it a cold? Oi, are you really alright!?」
While surprised, when I extended my arms halfway out of reflex and held her, her body had become hot enough to make you unable to think that it was normal.
「H, huh? ……Yashiro……san?」
So you didn’t even notice that!?
「Dammit, I’ll need to pay attention to carrying her. It’s the futon that I slept in but deal with it.」
I tried to lie Bernadette, who had finally noticed me, on the bed, but Bernadette struggled as if to resist within my arms.
「っ, There’s no, need for that……More importantly, there’s something, I want to ask……」
「Shut up! If you keep on blabbing, I’ll put my tongue in and kiss you!」
「っ……!」
Certainly, it was a threat that I said to stop you from resisting, but I don’t think that you needed to go so far as to bite down on your lower lip like that to be silent, idiot.
「……Wait, this isn’t the time to be screwing around. Just wait for a bit.」
When I laid her down on the bed and covered her with the futon, I went down all the way to the first floor and stole the newspaper of the innkeeper that was reading the newspaper.
「Wha, what the heck are ya doin’!」
「We’ll talk later! Lend me a bucket-full of water and a towel. There’s a sick person, make it quick.」
When I shouted looking like I would go on and on, the innkeeper kept on nodding and then started to run to call his wife.
